Location Based Services using Android Mobile Operating System (original) (raw)

Location based services using android (LBSOID)

2009

Initially mobile phones were developed only for voice communication but now days the scenario has changed, voice communication is just one aspect of a mobile phone. There are other aspects which are major focus of interest. Two such major factors are web browser and GPS services. Both of these functionalities are already implemented but are only in the hands of manufacturers not in the hands of users because of proprietary issues, the system does not allow the user to access the mobile hardware directly. But now, after the release of android based open source mobile phone a user can access the hardware directly and design customized native applications to develop Web and GPS enabled services and can program the other hardware components like camera etc. In this paper we will discuss the facilities available in android platform for implementing LBS services (geoservices).

Location-Based Services in a Smartphone

Bonfring International Journal of Software Engineering and Soft Computing, 2016

The aim of this research is to give promote knowledge into conceivable outcomes to PDA cutting edge Location Based Services (LBS) applications, including a more noteworthy comprehension of usage and design contemplations, and future patterns in LBS. This report traces the ebb and flow condition of LBS innovation, inquire about into the vital issues of keeping up client security, and future patterns, for example, enhanced perception through enlarged reality and moves towards connection based registering and Semantic Web. What's more, more critically to plan and compose Android Application to make "Customary neighborhood news media". Customary neighborhood news media: It is like nearby news coverage beginning from a little city and extending this application to reach to a national level to cover whole nation. We begin with the neighborhood daily paper's plan of action all the while. The online networking grabs the tattles from your group of friends and intrigue bunches, pulling perusers' consideration far from the printed page. Safe to say, it's been something of an immaculate tempest misusing customary neighborhood news media. Alongside which the entrance of this is made through the cellps for the cell phone.

LOCATION BASED SERVICES (LBS) AND RELATED STANDARDS

Nowadays, mobile network operators try to create the novel services in order to increase advantages of existing telecommunication services. Providing many personalized services for mobile phone users is one of the best ways for achieving this. Location is the most important of personalized services. LBS are vital for our life which contain a lot of considerable topics such as emergency services, navigation and security.

Location-based services: architecture overview

Proceedings of the International …, 2005

Location-Based Services (LBSs) stands for the provision of information about the position of a device or a user, often offered as a service via various means of media. The position can be combined with spatial information so as to integrate an LBS system with Geographical Information Systems (GISs) or other location dependent information. The quality of the services provided by the LBSs depends on the utilized architecture that would support differentiated service levels, each of which guarantees a specific Quality of Service (QoS). The current survey opens up by presenting a review on the various LBS systems and then focuses on their architectures and the different governing platforms and technologies on which they are based. The general concepts of these systems are discussed by presenting a first level of classification which depends on the positioning infrastructure namely, indoor, satellite or network-based configuration. Several specific LBS architectures are categorized by means of the various characteristics regarding the design and functionality of each one. The survey furthermore expands towards the integration of the LBS and the various GISs. In order to increase interoperability among the various systems and technologies, the necessity for standardization and homogenization is also taken under consideration.

Location Based Service in Android

Location Based Services provide the users a set of services which originate from the geographic location of the user's mobile device. Using these services it is possible for the users to find and locate other persons, vehicles, resources and also to provide location-sensitive services, in addition to tracking their own location. The request for location can originate in the mobile device or in another entity like application provider or network operator. It is possible to automatically trigger Location Based Services when the mobile device is at a particular location. These services can also originate in the user's mobile device itself in order to satisfy location-based requests like finding areas of interest, checking traffic conditions, finding our friends, vehicles, resources, machines and emergency requests. In this paper we will discuss how to implement these location based services in Android after giving a brief introduction to Android and its constituents.

Location-based Services: A study on applications and services

2018

The proliferation of location services and location determination in mobile devices had broaden the landscape for the development of heterogeneous Location-based Services (LBS). The correlation of LBS applications, mobile devices and facilitating technology is a complex issue due to its diversity, hence there are immense contextual definitions of LBS. This study, review the applications and services of LBS in order to provide a common classified LBS applications and services to date. The literature reviews of LBS definitions, standards and guidelines, LBS architecture, LBS components and the most common classification of LBS application and services were attained.

Interface Design of Location-Based Services

Advances in Human Computer Interaction, 2008

Advances in Human-Computer Interaction 416 2. Literature Review 2.1 Local based service (LBS) Mobile location-based commerce refers to the provision of location-based information on mobile devices as a result of a user request (Varshney, 2003). It aims to provide specific targeted information to users based on each specific user's location at any time (Benson, 2001). OGC (2003) stated that LBS is defined as a wireless-IP service that uses geographic information to serve a mobile user, or as any application service that takes advantage of the position of a mobile device. The LBS applications include emergency and safety-related services, entertainment, navigation, directory and city guides, traffic updates, and location-specific advertising and promotion in addition to site-based purchasing with e-wallet enabled wireless devices. These services can answer questions such as, "Where can I find a Chinese restaurant," or "Where are my nearest friends?". For example, NTT DoCoMo expresses a "friend finder" service on its iMode system (Levijoki, 2000). Users can predefine which friends are allowed to know their location. Integrating the map database with the PoI database can create detailed, available digital representation of the road network and business services. To cover simple city maps, routings, business finder, etc., these services are usually combined with a digital map associated to the user location. Reichenbacher (2001) shows that LBS applications typically use information from several content databases: • Road network (digital maps).
